couple of decades ago it was a bill that they were trying to vote on that sparked all this so this was a bill forty two sixty eight so what it what it says is that a majority of seventy five percent of the owners of of shares of a single piece of property could determine whether the property could develop for ask for oil or gas extraction so it amuses someone might have sold or at least off their mineral rights and they own like one percentage or seven eighths of a share which if you have minerals underneath your limb that could be a huge amount of money to a farmer someone who owns land the problem was before if that person with even the tiniest share said no you couldn't do it now what they're saying is we don't care about what that minority person who may be living on that land if the corporation owns a bigger portion they essentially get eminent domain and they control sideways into someone's land even if they decide they won't let it in about way so it's a pretty ugly piece of legislation that was written by the goyim gas lobby that is

12:02 pm
market the publisher of the trends journal gerald so at day and then you've got rabbit snowflakes and black berries coming your way though it's not a break absolute story state to be watching the office. in america a college degree requires a great deal. paying a decade's long debt. studying so hard it requires trust just. going through humiliation to enter an elite society. and parching to death
12:03 pm
sometimes quite literally. want other true colors of universities in the us. everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. i'm going to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru well just a little bit different i'm not a. good one i know no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm shooting the road have some fun meet every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. piers will be. been saying about rejected and then it was to us it actually was
12:04 pm
full on ourselves that was the only show i go out of my way to you know what it was that really packs a punch oh and leadership is the john oliver of r t americans get the sense that we are very early better than the blue mountains that i see people you've never heard of love or down to the next president of the world playing so he doesn't really mean a seriously he sent us an email. no matter how you look at it the last year has been a roller coaster of a ride for the american economy the dow jones rode wall street records with an unprecedented rally before it lost a shocking ten percent in the blink of an eye bitcoin made many a clueless millennial a millionaire overnight before crashing down to earth just as rapidly the partisan media is at war over whether the economy is booming or not all while struggling
12:05 pm
families wonder what planet their cable news producers are living on all this is to say it's been quite a turbulent year and nobody really knows what's coming next but one man is literally paid to figure out exactly what's coming next and that's gerald solent a professor publisher of trends journal johnstone sat down with gerald to get his take on the trump economy. twenty seventeen did see a boom in the stock markets the dow now is called off a little bit these past few weeks but how much of the overall stock surge can we associate with trump you could you could associate a lot of it with trump since he got elected because think of the things that he promised wall street i'm going to get rid of those regulations that hold your bags of a give you free rein and amen to cut the taxes so you're going to get more money and that was the initiative to drive the stock's up and he said he would cut the taxes
12:06 pm
within a year and he did and he said it you know i'm a let you repatriate that money you got overseas so let's go back to when george bush did that in two thousand and four the money didn't go into capital expenditures and when it's a stock buybacks when you look at the whole stock market boom it's cheap money they did everybody knows it they denied in the beginning by the way you know they tracking trends is an understanding of where we are how we got here and where we're going so when i believe that the market's really going to crash in two thousand and twelve i looked at how we got here so they didn't teach me in economics one hundred one about zero interest rates negative interest rates and quantitative easing these cats just made this stuff up and all they did was juice the markets. so trump is giving them
12:07 pm
a tax break hey how about those corporate earnings haven't been so bad have they why do they need a tax break they didn't put that money into corporate earnings back into capital development it went into stock buybacks that's what's been driving the market's up and the fear that interest rates may go up and the cheap money flow may stop is what's bringing the markets down now. do you think there were basically you mentioned past crashes and it's from the two thousand seven eight time period you know led to the great recession do you think that we're now out of the great recession the people aren't out of the great recession the what seventy eight percent of people living paycheck to paycheck three people who are the united states have more dough than sixty percent combined median household incomes below nine hundred ninety nine levels the gap between the rich of the poor is the widest
12:08 pm
in the united states than any of the industrialized nations so yes we're out of the recession in terms of yes there's g.d.p. growth yes the markets are going up yes there are more people employed but where they employed it's not the united states of america it's slave led to get so when they talk for instance that the last time you know what brought the market down was wages went up it wages went up but take a look at the numbers wages only went up for about twenty percent of the working population the managerial levels that's which skewed it eighty percent of the people is still making the lousy wages they were making before. so that's what it is so yes the economy is in much better shape now than it was from the panic of zero eight people yes they have debt the credit card debt sit all time high but
12:09 pm
they don't have those subprime mortgages now instead they have those a subprime call mortgages rather the house mortgages but they're not as big as the so did they get caught and made on the whole is in much better shape than it was back then but not all boats ride side and so when you mentioned before how when bush was treated money from the corporations that was put into stock buybacks you expect that what trump has done basically with this corporate tax break will bring money back but rather than being him invest it in the companies themselves and into the workers workers in the technology to be more invested at this for the stocks which will truly overheat the economy and create a crash it will put more money back into the stock market standing capital development it to get go by history again it's not as though corporate her things have been so terrible they've been very good so why did he have to give them a tax break so tripp trump's trade policies are much different than you know that
12:10 pm
will bring jobs back if you bring back manufacturing you know but we're a service sector economy and you look at the jobs i mean you know hospitality sector i mean being a bartender at a waitress and making beds in a hotel not that i'm demeaning that but those are the jobs that are available they put fancy name on it so the think shoe is too when you want to see where the economy is going it truly is the trump economy look at trump's track record as a businessman and about those of bankruptcies over there that linux city but he makes things happen on another end so that's what you're going to see you're going to see a lot of ups and downs. at the end of last year the trends journal we forecast a ten percent market correction in two thousand and eighteen it's down ten percent and may go lower this is the end of the trump economic rally as far as the stock markets go we believe we're at the peak and there is
12:11 pm
a what nobody can predict the future there are too many wild cards in life absent the wild card we can go back to maybe of a bear market we're in a correction now the market's up over six thousand points since trump got elected so it has a ways to go down before it crashes so because when you're looking at the global economy and you see the numbers coming out of the i.m.f. they're positive hey take a look at that trade data that just came out of china last week oh they're ever there are terrible debt yes no kidding everybody is but look at the trade numbers exports increased you know levon percent imports increased. twenty something percent so the people are buying so the global economy is in much better shape than they used to big but again going back to the markets the markets are
12:12 pm
overvalued they are over leveraged the price earning ratios in the markets today are near the historic highs and in the tech sector the way of budget so yes it is going to be a correction it's way over built it's going to come down and one of the signals that you look for in particular before an economy let's say or a market or what not it's going to start collapsing is a key signal that no one seems to be looking at and this is it when gold prices shine the markets will go red. look what happened over the last week when the markets were going down poof gold was moving down to if the markets were really in trouble gold is the ultimate safe haven asset that they would have skyrocketed and gold can't break over fourteen
12:13 pm
hundred dollars an ounce and our forecast is that gold has to go over fourteen fifteen an ounce solidify around four hundred fifty four thousand nine hundred sixty and then it's going to take a big coin bounce this thing's going to go to two thousand plus watch gold and gold is the ultimate safe haven asset so when these markets are going to go down go back to see what happened the last time gold prices spiked in a haven't spiked gold is the one to watch that they're not watching right you mentioned big coin obviously that's an interesting side of things cryptocurrency many people are excited about the currency is the new tech bubble basically of the late ninety's you know early two thousand do you think that could be a currency can prove to be more studio as basically as stable as the internet has proved as far as you know the tech bubble burst big has burst a little bit it may burst more but the point is do you think that overall cryptocurrency is here to stay yes i do. go back to bitcoin what board the prices
12:14 pm
of bitcoin down government interference china south korea the banks now in the united states you can't buy a big you can't buy a kryptos with the credit cards the number of banks it's regulations it's going to bring it down but the important thing is crypto z here to stay as well as the block chain technology that everyone's fall in love with and that's really a whole new way it's a whole new accounting system and so many ways so this is the twenty first century now let's go to china. you go to china end up paying for care's your credit cards you're putting your wrap up there the world is going cashless people aren't attached to a coin of the realm we're talking about the markets being over evaluated over leveraged which they just passed to the other you know we're going to keep the government going and put his deeper in debt. hundreds of trillions of dollars in
12:15 pm
global debt and people that are awake don't want to invest in their four currencies you want to own these digital currencies aren't worth anything oh you mean those digital dollars printed on nothing is backed by nothing are worth more you got a clown out there shooting their mouth off about a digital currency when you've got all these digital nothing you want as yet is euros and dollars so yes stay here to stay but the ones that we're focusing on particularly are the ones that have an action of purpose a product of a service behind them going back to block chain. transactions the dotted line that you can what health care you name the industry they're all going into it it's it's verifying solidifying processes in a way we've never seen it's the twenty first century and so too is digital currency is. having a severe allergy is no laughing matter i know even when it's used as
12:16 pm
a joke by magical talking rabbits or at least some parents seem to think that the new children's movie reboot peter rabbit based on the classic book by beatrix potter includes a bunny hating tom mcgregor mcgregor is allergic to black berries at one point the rabbit shoot blackberries and the villains mouth he chokes and must use an epi pen to save him from an awful act that shock this is when parents of children with allergies felt a trigger warning should have been added in. trigger warning because they felt that the c. in specifically shamed kids with allergies the worst part sony is apologizing for being insensitive to people with allergies no word on whether the talking bunny leave will apologize as well i concern my concern is that at this rate the list of trigger warnings for your average children's movies will be longer than the movies
12:17 pm
themselves trying some grim fairy tales sometimes and still trigger warnings that go to our other realistic fairy tales around the world the baghdad of the body want to kill peter rabbit right that's right there are only a week it's our own are pretty those are over the day remember this world we're not told of love so i tell you all i love you i robot that topical keep watching those hawks they. tell us time is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos build this if you like to believe this is my cousin he is going out on sunday oh maybe you do you know john tells me they should be the only palestinians who gets the most help from its jerusalem
12:18 pm
counterparts i don't think there's some of those who in the world under the old vision didn't know when you could do this. and that's that you had to this lady of the mossad that you had i don't want you to compete in the doesn't seem to do more . don't put this in the. tens of billions hundreds of billions probably a trillion dollars of us government subsidies a shit on the energy industry yes government can subsidize mining of big brother crept up. currencies and put those into wallets called american citizens give each have an automatic wallet tied to the social security account and they can get a daily weekly or monthly air drop of crypto coins that they can then use to boost the economy with the government can easily do that.
12:19 pm

12:20 pm
in an exclusive interview with us the head of the court of arbitration for sport tries to defend the olympic committee's decision to exclude russian athletes which the court itself had already cleared of doping allegations. unable to show the guilt of an athlete i don't feel that it has nothing to do at all with the case is totally innocent coming up to the u.s. admits part of the local forces it trains in syria is fleeing now to join a conflict against washington's ally turkey. consumer foods giant unilever is on a mission to clean up the internet with threats to pull lucrative ads from facebook and google if they don't act on fake news and hate speech.
12:21 pm
well i just turned three in the afternoon here in moscow my name is kevin owen thanks for tuning to us international for your world news through the after moscow times means that it's not of the evening in south korea and indeed that's where the big news is not so we're starting this hour it's day four of the winter olympics and athletes from russia are on the medal board with two bronze and one silver we can tell you that's of course despite a reduced number of competitors from russia following decisions by the international olympic committee and the court of arbitration for sport over doping allegations in twenty cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that. violation it was committed concerned. decision this streamlet disappointing. decision shows the urchin the need. for reform. in the
12:22 pm
internal structure of the class. division of the court of arbitration for sport. missed the application filed by thirty two russian athletes against the international olympic committee not demonstrates that the manner in which two special commission system by the i.o.c. was carried out in a discriminatory. curse overturn the lifetime bans for twenty eight russian athletes at the start of february but then it did this sudden u. turn saying it actually supported the i.o.c. decision not to allow the athletes to compete in the winter games our correspondent has been speaking exclusively then with the secretary general of cast to find out more about the conflicting decisions. after the court of arbitration for sport said no to forty seven russian athletes and coaches just as the chuang winter games were getting underway perhaps the number one conclusion that came up on some people's mind was that presumption of innocence doesn't apply to the russian doping scandal
12:23 pm
well the cast secretary-general did literally say that the key law principle didn't work for cas but see for yourself how much it applied to the russians the fact that the unable to show the guilt of an athlete doesn't mean that the truth has nothing to do although with the case is totally innocence this is a logical consequence and this is nothing bad about it mr reeve maintains that leaving the group of clean russian athletes on paper out of the winter olympics isn't a sanction also i found out that the refusal of the i.o.c. to get the dozens of russian athletes on board the olympics in some cases was a result of pure suspicion and other cases it was a result of some real evidence which however mr reeves hasn't seen after all he
12:24 pm
wasn't a member of the panel but the secretary general promised that this evidence will soon be published so let's wait for now let's have a look at the other highlights of my exclusive interview cas has been shown something as a people here there was no review of every the sochi case was not discussed here the metro report was last discussed here it's only the review of the how you see process so it was not just sanction it was an eligibility issue i understand the reaction of the public in russia because it doesn't seem logical exactly the russian side doesn't see the logic here how it's stripping a person of the right to compete at the olympics not a sanctioned this is. a special procedure because the created a special commission so the cast by the here reviewed these criteria and said they were fair please let me get this straight the tsotsi case and the chain case you are saying that there are absolutely no contradictions between the two decisions
12:25 pm
yes the fact that you cannot establish the give evidence of the good doesn't mean that you have established the innocence of the athlete you see what i mean i'm sorry but i thought that was the exact job of cas to determine whether that suspicion is enough for that kind of bad maybe that they are suspicions which are not. confirmed by sufficient evidence i don't know if i'm clear because it's a little bit skopec ated that is you can have some elements which show some. suspicious actions by the athletes but they may not be sufficient to convince the panel that for sure at least is guilty of an anti-doping rule violation but it doesn't mean that he did nothing at all there may be some. some strange actions which could lead to some suspicion so you are saying there can be more transparency it's possible it's possible yes as you heard a couple of minutes ago when cas initially overturned the i.o.c.
12:26 pm
bans of the sochi athletes the international olympic committee was very critical of the court thomas back demanded reforms and i asked the secretary general if anyone returned to these ideas after the final decision of the russian athletes was made and the answer was no so it turns out when the court of arbitration for sport came up with a verdict that fully satisfied the i.o.c. nobody wants to reform cas any more it is hard hitting you so but if you want to see more than exclusive interview with the general in full throughout the day tomorrow here on this channel. next washington's admitted that some of the kurdish forces it trains in syria shifting to fight against one of america's own allies know turkey and crew is currently on the offensive in northern syria against groups he deems as terrorists. has more on the tensions currently playing out in syria
12:27 pm
u.s. secretary of defense james mattis has confirmed that u.s. armed kurdish forces in the ass d.f. have been relocating to the northern parts of syria to protect territory from turkey. the destruction of was going on up enough and right now which is drawing off some of the syrian democratic forces the see the snuff and under attack so that is causing the police their attention to shift. now the kurds and turkey are both key u.s. allies in the region however there's been tension between all three of them in recent months now we've heard of how the usa has been arming the kurdish forces and providing them with weapons now and carra has been quite upset by this action they consider this to be the arming of terrorists now at this point we do have a statement from james mattis confirming that he believes there are legitimate security concerns on turkey's part about these kurdish forces that have been armed
12:28 pm
by the united states will continue to work with. disagreements which is how do we take them on as he was rapidly as possible they have a legitimate security concern and we do not dismiss one bits of them now there has been escalating tension between the united states and turkey especially in the aftermath of an announcement from the united states that it intended to create a thirty thousand strong border force to protect syria's border with turkey now u.s. leaders backtracked from those comments but that hasn't stopped turkey from being quite upset by these remarks now we've recently seen the beginning of operation olive branch and this is turkish forces moving into syria to fight against the kurds two allies of the united states clashing with each other in syria as the tensions escalate we're even hearing calls to rename the street on which the u.s. embassy in turkey's capital is located there are calls to rename the street olive
12:29 pm
branch after operation olive branch the turkish operation to go into syria and fight against the kurdish forces armed by the united states there seems to be quite a bit of contradiction in the words and statements of u.s. leaders and there seems. to be rising tension between all three parties the usa turkey and the kurdish forces. facebook and google are at risk of losing one of the world's biggest advertisers if they fail to improve news transparency and tackle extremism on their platforms consumer giant consumer products rather uni lever which makes some of the biggest brands in food including products made a threat that they tech conference on monday but the anglo dutch firm has been caught out in the past however there's no misjudged marketing is done in organs explains the same news different day facebook is again in the firing line having faced pressure from governments and activists over failing to root out hate speech
12:30 pm
racism fake news divisive comments and whatnot this time it's global joy uniquely for leading the charge even threatening to reduce and withdraw advertising from the social media platform if things don't improve unilever will not invest in platforms or environments that do not protect our children or which create division in society consumers do care about fraudulent practice fake news and russians influencing the us election they do care when they see their brands being placed next to ads funding terror or exploiting children now the message is clear though more deception abuse and controversy and a new era of positivity unity and inclusive ity but a closer look at unilever's own p.r. record reveals a contentious history from this infamous dove soap advert placed on facebook.
